Glucose Metabolism Disorders and Parkinson's Disease: Coincidence or Indicator of Dysautonomia?

ABSTRACT: Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are both age-related diseases. Evidence from recent studies suggests a link between them. The existence of an interaction between autonomic nervous system dysfunction and the dysregulation of glucose metabolism is one of the proposed mechanisms to explain the complicated relationship between these diseases. The aims of this study are to assess the incidence of glycemic dysregulation in people with PD and to identify clinical factors that may predispose patients with PD to the occurrence of metabolic disturbances. Methods: In total, 35 individuals diagnosed with PD and 20 healthy control subjects matched in terms of age and gender participated in a study consisting of clinical and biometric assessments al
